We are back in Florida once again, and the minis continue their work bringing smiles to the residents at local nursing facilities! Recently, Captiva and Hot Rod spent the morning at AdviniaCare at Naples. The residents learned about Miniature Horses, asked insightful questions, shared their own experiences and got to see the horses up close for pats!

It was a girl’s day out to meet the minis for Maui, her mom and aunt during their recent stay Tommy's Place. There’s always a little surprise in store when learning about the minis, whether it’s their size, personalities or how they interact with people and each other, and they are always sure to bring smiles! Everyone did a super job handling and grooming the horses. Maui had Hot Rod’s attention as he listened to his handler’s directions when lead through the obstacle course as seen in the video. Please come visit us again!

Gillie and Captiva brought some smiles to the guests at The Cape Cod Winery tree lighting event! I know the Grinch is smiling on the inside.

We had the pleasure of meeting Benny and his family and friends during their vacation week at Tommy’s Place a few weeks ago! The boys are at that perfect age to enjoy everything at the farm and were able to work quite independently with the horses, and enjoyed a magical trip through the fairy forest. We hope you enjoyed your time at Tommy’s Place and hope you’ll come visit us again if you’re in the area!

We recently had a visit from Toni and her family during their vacation week at Tommy's Place! Although she wasn’t feeling her very best, and was a little shy at first, the minis have a way of working their special magic and soon enough, Toni was all in!! She got to be our first visitor to dress the horses in Halloween costumes this season, and did amazingly well handling them for such a little girl! Her favorite part of the visit was the fairy trail but the horses were a close second. She left us with this knock-knock joke to share.
Knock-knock.
Who’s there?
Boo.
Boo who?
Awww, don’t cry!! 🤣😆
Please be sure to visit us again!!

This week Laila, her good friend, siblings and parents came to work with the minis during their vacation week at Tommy’s Place! It was a fun and busy visit! Of course since it’s Halloween week, the horses were dressed for the occasion which included one bumble bee, two unicorns, and Hot Rod did not have to wear a winged fairy costume so I think he was happy 😆
Laila’s upbeat and positive energy brought joy to the farm! She was a trooper participating in all the farm had to offer, and her kindness, encouragement and interaction with little Gillie was impressive.
Please come visit us again!

We recently had a visit from Ashton and his big sister Adriana during their vacation at Tommy's Place last week. While Ashton is a little young to enjoy all activities with the horses, he seemed to take it all in from the comfort of his stroller or his mom’s arms! But his sister most enthusiastically enjoyed everything about the visit! After grooming Hot Rod, she picked up her grooming kit and said “Okay, I’m ready to do the next horse! Hot Rod was his usual good natured self and proudly wore his unicorn costume. Adriana did a great job leading him through the obstacle course as Ashton and mom watched. No visit is complete without a fun trip through the fairy forest. Thanks for visiting and we hope you’ll come again when Ashton can get some more hands on!!

We always appreciate it when families come and visit us during their vacation week at Tommy's Place! With so much to do there, there’s really no reason to leave! Recently Kieran and his family and friends visited us and spent some time here at the farm working with the horses and venturing through the fairy forest. The horses are always entertaining and this little group of 2 to 5 year olds did a super job with them!
Kieran shared this joke with us. What time do you go to the dentist? Tooth hurty!!!! 😆 😆

Last week we met the sweetest boy, Jamie, and his family and friends when they came for a farm visit during their vacation week at Tommy's Place! Jamie worked with both Gillie and Captiva and the three made a perfect team of fun, sugar and spice. ❤️ Everyone enjoyed all the horse activities and the fairy trail, and Jamie’s brother shared a joke with us.
Why don’t eggs tell each other jokes?
Because they’d crack each other up!!! 🤣

I can't believe we're already into the first week of fall! The summer flew by, and we kept busy with lots of visitors to the farm, including a family from Ireland, two friends from Alaska, a little girl interested in therapeutic riding lessons wanting to get acquainted with the smaller equine version first, a former Tommy's Place family in town to run the Falmouth Road Race, and LOTS of family and grandparent visits! Thank you all for helping support the work of The Northeast Miniature Horse Club and Rescue!

Last week Olivia and her family visited us during their vacation week at Tommy's Place. And how lucky were we to get to spend some time with her on her 5th birthday! She arrived looking absolutely adorable in her special Spidey Girl outfit, and although Olivia wasn’t feeling her best, she was a trooper and participated in all the activities. She got to groom Captiva and dressed her up, and with her Mom’s help they lead Captiva through the obstacle course. Her little brother was so sweet and patient and waited his turn to take Gillie around, doing a superb job for a 3 and a half year old.
Horses are fun but it’s hard to beat a fairy trail! That quickly lifted Olivia’s spirits and she was all in-hands down, her favorite part of the visit!
